The music in this film is overwhelming and is composed for this film by Micky Erbe and Maribeth Solomon. Their music is designed for a not so far away future, in which we meet an alien race, that is visiting us. These aliens exist out of energy only, and it seems as if they come in peace. The nice thing about this story is, that the action takes place in our time not very far in the future. The world and the human race are developing very fast, because of what these aliens, the Taelons, provide us with. Not only on a technical base, but they also help us with more Earthly matters like a huge famine, deadly diseases, and ending a war!
At the beginning of the story, when the Taelons are on earth for 3 years, the first problems appear. Certain people are starting to wonder why the Taelons decided to come to our planet in the first place. Do they perhaps have another motive for visiting us? These people, who are starting to gather all over the world, are the main figures in this story. They are: "THE RESISTANCE!!"
The main leader, Jonathan Doors, who is not that young anymore, put his money in a large and well organized resistance. The Head office of the Resistance is established deep under the ground underneath a church in Canada.
Provided with hightech computers and tele-communication, isolated from the world outside, not traceable by the Taelons or the FBI, they try to find out what exactly the Taelons want from us. William Boone joins the Resistance, after his wife had been killed by the Taelons. Kevin Kilner plays Boone in season 1 and it is a pitty they sent him away ( he told in a interview, they considered him to old for the role)!!! Too bad, for he is an extremely good actor and nice looking as well!!
The "secret service" of the Taelons persuade him to join them. They've also infected him with an alien virus and they implant a bio-engineered weapon, which will give him enormous strength.
He now works for both sides and tries to find out what secrets the Taelons hide from us. He becomes head-taelon Da'an's, protector.
The main Taelon is Da'an. This role is played so beautifully and touching, that you want to see more of it, just because of him. Leni Parker is the actrice who is playing Da'an so remarkable! When you watch the show for the first time, you think Da'an is played by a male character, provided with a lot of female qualities. However, a man could never play this character in the very unique way that Leni Parker does!!
Every time, it takes 3 hours to change her in to Da'an, her voice is electronically lowered and she wears thick blue contact lenses. By the movements of her hands, she tries to tell us what Da'an really means. A five layers-costume covers any female parts of her body.
Da'an and the other Taelons are made of a transparent blue shape, but they can change their appearance into any lifeform that they think we would like. Therefore, they look very sweet and fortunately not like all these creepy apes in all these other SF-films.
To maintain this almost human form, they provide themselves with a lot of energy, which they get from a energy-provider, in the centre of their huge transparent blue Motherschip. This ship is so big, that sometimes it is visible for half of the world. It can make itself visable when needed. The special effects in this film are really great! The producer is Paul Gertz, who also wrote a lot of great stories for this film. They started on a low budget and still made great special effects. In some eps., they failed with the decor, like Da'an in his Taelon-world in ep. 1, Defector, that 'Polystyreen' sun or moon hanging in the sky?!.
Zo'or, the second Taelon, pushes Da'an away and takes his place as the headtaelon, because he thinks Da'an put too much trust in Humanity and is going to be too close to humans.
The Dialogue between those two Taelons are the main reason I watch this show and I enjoy the beatiful music, it really ' embraces ' this film. It is a mix of classical- and today's ' high-tech' music.The filmshots are of high quality!!
'Da'an is a real diplomate, great with words, that is what even Zo'or thinks and he really is! This constant problem between these two, how far they will go to use mankind for their purpose only, is really very facinating and ofcourse again, without this music, this film would be less interesting!!!
